Demetri brought Ru, Cameron, and Babette to this office building downtown, to keep them safe from both crowboys and their own vampire families. He was generous with a blood stash, as needed, and showed them to a nice living space that was only slightly dusty. He explained to them that Dragomir didn't know where this building was and that armed security would keep the place safe from Theodores or crows if they somehow found it - but also that such was unlikely. Then he spent some time chatting with Cameron before he took off for the day, and while Cameron slept dead, the BFF dynamic duo felt the need to wake themselves up for a discussion. Probably Babette's idea....
((DKender Dr. Jar this is for you. Take as much time as you like here in this chapter. Got a lil business to take care of elsewhere and we're not ready for ur guys to rock yet.))

Ru- "Where am I?" Ru looks around, and then seems to relax a little, remembering what happened the night before. "I'm glad Demetri is out there looking out for us. I don't know what I'd do without him..." He makes sure his clothing is still intact. It was. He remembered Demetri's kindness. "He's been like a guardian to me.."

"I'm glad that you and Cameron have somebody to watch your back." She looked around, taking stock of the room and its amenities."Is there a shower in here? Actually, never mind. I need to talk to you about survival, Ru. There's only one Demetri, and he can't always swoop to our rescue like a masked comic book hero."

The day was heavy even though the room was so dark they could barely see - their night senses obliterated. Clearly to facilitate being awake, one of them would have to stagger to the light switch. If all was as they left it when they first nodded off, Cam was dead in the living room & Demetri was long gone o do some daytime security arrangements.

Ru- "...I don't know what else to do. I stick with Demetri whenever I can... Otherwise, I don't know how to survive... I've been relying on him, and whatever I get here and there for food." Ru put a hand against his cheek, and he was surprised by the lack of feeling he received from it.

"Well ... oh, hold on a second. I can't see." With a sleepy groan, she hopped off the bed and shuffled across the room. As Babette reached the wall, she flailed around with her hands until they brushed the light switch. "I feel like the dead. How's that?"

Their eyes didn't readily adjust to the light - They were just blind in a new way for a while until they got used to it. But the world looked much more like it had to them when they were human - one of the few good things about daytime. The alien world of fiery humans and infrared motes spilling out of heat sources was behind them for the moment.

"How is that? I feel less drowsy, at least." She sat on the edge of the bed, squinting."I'm not saying it's unwise to rely on a stronger vampire, but we need a fallback plan. Deserted islands are out of the question, unless we find one with a blood fountain. Here's an idea - we'll become famous and sustain a fifty-person entourage. They can scare away the baddies."

Ru- "I was thinking of starting something like a host club with Quinn to get meals. How are we going to become famous? We don't have any money of our own or anything like that..." He blinked but it didn't help with his vision. As to be expected, he assumed. It was a moment when he felt the most human.

Ru- "Er...well, I mean we serve drinks and make classy lady friends playing up the romance of being a vampire. Lots of women like that Vampire Princess-type thing. I can put on an act, get a meal. I've got to get meals someway in the future. Demetri warned me I can't just not eat." "I've got my all-game on. I'm going to be that old doctor vampire, dammit!"

"Oh, so you and Quinn do know what women want. I'm sure a lot of men like that kind of thing, too. Just be careful. Do you want to fall in love with a mortal thrall?" She moved over to be beside Ru again"It's like high school again, in many ways. Or maybe high school is just most people's first look at the real world. You ever think of it that way?"

Ru- "I don't think I can fall in love with anyone, but I know Quinn also knows. I mean...You can know stuff and not be involved with it. It's like...a social instinct I guess?" Ru scratched the back of his head. "I guess that's true, being a vampire seems to mean being in cliches.. What do you think about that kid? I feel like Dragomir is going to destroy him.. I mean... not that I'm hoping for it but... I saw him cut a whole room of armor apart with a sword, after taking it out of a stone."

"Cliche ... oh, cliques? Well, that too. But I was referring to Sophie's death." "I don't really know who or what this 'kid' is. As long as he doesn't kill us, though, we should be fine."

Ru- "...I still can't believe she died. I mean... I'd never have thought the Crowboys would dare. Aren't they afraid?" Demetri can rip them all to pieces!" He makes little punchy gestures. "That's true. I just try not to be too optimistic I guess. Highschool prepared me for that too."
